Interesting take; my translation of it is that the anti-war movement was a huge motivator and driving force for the left. Who was most impacted by the draft? Simple math says “white guys”. When the war ended and the draft was gone, so was the energy. Abortion and birth control are “women’s issues”. So is gender equality. Sadly, although women are statistically greater than 50% of the population, we are not the culturally dominant gender, and our protests and demands are dismissed as “irrelevant”.

Democrats have status quo’d themselves into oblivion. I knew from the 80’s on there was a war on. Too bad the Democratic Party didn’t.
